steeped in beauty recap & gift bag giveaway

Words can't express the joy I experienced when I shared my love for tea at the very first Steeped In Beauty workshop. Starting with the basics, we explored proper steeping methods for herbal blends, white, green and black tea. Along with sharing tea party tips, I demonstrated my passion for infusing tea into our culinary world with easy-to-make recipes (recipes to follow in a new t&p series, teaspoons at the table). We even took a few moments to talk about the spiritual side of steeping and sipping tea that we often neglect in our fast paced world of multitasking.

I am beyond thrilled to have partnered with Jolene Hart from Beauty Is Wellness. Her knowledge and ability to teach us how nourish the body with tea infused beauty treatments is fabulous. We're happy to say that planning has already begun for a Steeped In Beauty holiday workshop (if you want to be the first to know, leave a comment with your email address and I'll add you to the list).

As the workshop came to a close, we rewarded our incredible guests with raffle prizes, sweet treats and gift bags. In an effort to continue the tea momentum and share a bit of this special day, I am holding a gift bag giveaway for the first Philadelphia resident to reply with their favorite tea related quote (I'm keeping it local because an item is philly related-but don't fret, because I'll be sharing a few more giveaways in the upcoming weeks).

gift bag: tea and natural beauty recipes taught at the event, natural beauty samples, Rishi's white detox tea & green oolong tea, Tbar frequency card, and other goodies are included.

There are many great tea quotes, and even quite a few good ones on probably my fave tv show of all time, Buffy, granted that one of the main characters is British (Giles). Here is one that I picked out that I thought embodied a few things about tea (it's a brief dialogue):

Xander: "Here's your coffee, brewed from the finest Columbian lighter fluid."
Giles: "Thank you. Horrible."
Xander: "Aren't you supposed to be drinking tea, anyway?"
Giles: "Tea is soothing. I wish to be tense."
Xander: "OK. But you're destroying a perfectly good cultural stereotype here."
